  After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads

  by paulmolark in

  2. experiences

  it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.

  i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.

  a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

  Your family dynamic sounds a lot like mine although mine was not nearly as severe as yours.

  You and your sister were the scapegoats and your other sibling was the golden child that could do no wrong.

  My oldest brother and I got the short end of the stick literally and my other brother is the favoured one. The oldest was smart enough to leave the Jws before he was baptized.

  Even though I am still in there is no point in talking to my mother. I am a failure in her eyes. Any thing that I accomplish she puts me down. I'm never good enough for her. So I ignore her. It really pisses her off because she can't control my life.

  The people who give these experiences always say that they did family worship and attended all the meetings. They did everything "right" but the child still went astray. I think they are told what to say and it may not reflect the true situation.

  How many times were you told, "You Just Don't Qualify Yet to be an Elder"

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you think it's the holy spirit that appoints the elders, at least that's what new jw males are told.

  the culture within the organization dictates to all young male jehovah's witnesses that unless you are an elder, you will not get the sultry, passionate- brunette, the voluptuous, curvaceous,- blond, or the seductive, erotic, red headed-vamp..

  so unaware of the social forces that are shaping your mind, you succumb to the dictum issued by the governing body to conform to the structure already in place- if you want to be successful.

  Swahili Congregation in the Midwest -- Why?

  i almost posted this in the humor section, because honestly, i almost thought it was a joke.

  my family and i were driving through a suburb of st. louis, missouri this afternoon on the way back to illinois and home.

  i took a back road through a bedroom community and ended up on a 2 lane road that led me right past the last kingdom hall i attended in 2007 before i left for good.

  She proceeds to tell me that because I am doing well financially I feel i no longer need Jehovah, but it didn't matter because Satan would take everything away from me ;as quickly as it was given.

  
  

  this sums up the real reason she called. She wants financial support from you.

  My parents shun me because I don't do as much as they think I could be doing in "the truth". I am an embarrassment to them I think. They can't tell their friends how "spiritual" I am.

  If they only love me for what I can give them they really don't love me

  I was an ms years ago. I stepped down because basically the PO was bullying me. I didn't recognize it at the time though.

  Ive been asked twice since then to be an ms but turned them down both times.

  Now I really don't attend that regularly and don't do much field service so they don't ask anymore.

  Our hall is asking for money...

  i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.

  we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.

  it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

  I'm glad I can see through the bs and am only a marginal member.

  I don't subsidize millionaires(billionaires). They don't need any more of my hard earned money so they can live in a mansion by the lake.
